EN 17130 Textiles and Textile Products - Determination of Dimethylfumarate (DMFu), Method Using Gas Chromatography

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 17130 testing. This standard gives a test method for determining the amounts of dimethyl fumarate (DMFu) in textile materials and textile products. Also includes desiccant bags that may be available. The test method cannot be applied to metal parts.

The sample is cut into small pieces and extracted with acetone in an ultrasonic bath at a defined temperature in a sealed bottle.

Depending on the material tested, it is recommended to use two different procedures:

• The first procedure without purification (concentration of the extracted solution is optional) is used for samples giving a simple chromatograph, eg textiles;
• The second procedure with purification and concentration of the extract can be used for samples with a complex matrix effect, such as leather.
